Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted April 3, 2017 at 09:43 PM Board of Governors Posted April 3, 2017 at 09:43 PM Around 13Z, our web service provider suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, taking out the entire RAID setup. As of this time, the service provider is working like crazy to get all of their customers back online using 3 different restore schemes. It is possible, however, that we may have lost up to a week's worth of data (including transfers, exam completions, forum posts, and, sadly, my annual April Fool's thread in the VATUSA forums ). Restoration is likely sometime tomorrow, though may occur sometime tonight. Thank you for your patience.

Nah. You got a top notch Data Services Manager that was prepared. The only thing that might be lost is a weeks worth of emails and maybe anything that happened within 60 seconds of the server going out. But who doesn't like to come back to an empty inbox?

Daniel Hawton Posted April 4, 2017 at 03:30 PM Posted April 4, 2017 at 03:30 PM Services are mostly restored. May be slow while the provider finishes restoring backups around the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
